Three years ago today I was diagnosed with cancer. And on this day I would like to take a moment to thank all my caregivers and people who helped me get through it. And to count my blessings.
First I would like to thank my wonderful husband who was there every moment with me. Who cooked and cleaned and did everything for me. I would like to thank my wonderful sister Chandra who came out and stayed with me. I really appreciated that and we grew closer together. My mother in law came to so many chemo treatments and sat with me. And bought me smoothies. I am very grateful I had someone to sit by my side while my husband was across the street working. For west main ward for all their kindness and prayers. They brought us so much food, and was there for us. They made our holidays more enjoyable with surprise caroling and a christmas tree and presents- and I am not sure if this was them or not-- but someone left us random money at our door. Speaking of money- I am thankful for everyone who sent us money. We had just gotten married and received so many presents and then right after that a lot of the same people sent us more money. It really helped us get through it financially. Many times we couldnt even pay our bills and then we would get a check in the mail that was enough to pay our bills and pay for medicine. I am thankful for all my inlaws--- melissa, sharon, grandma sharon, bobby, chuck, maggie, jc, thomas, jon senior, they all were there for me in my time of need and accepted me into their family. I am very thankful for my mother who also came out to be with me. She cooked and cleaned everyday she was here. And she helped us buy our car. I would like to thank all the kind nurses and doctors. I would like to thank Sister Hymus- she prayed for me three times a day-- and gave me a make over and bought me new glasses.
I am thankful for all the many blessings I received. Mainly for my two lovely daughters. I know they were a direct blessing from the cancer. If I left anyone out I am sorry. I am thankful for everyone who helped me get through this. I am thankful to have survived and to still be in remission! Thanks for all the support!
